Allow us to introduce Gregory to those of you who are unfamiliar with the brand.

They have been making top quality rucksacks since 1977

Their driving philosophy is “The pack must maintain its comfort and stability by effectively transferring the weight of the pack onto the hips”.

Every pack is designed to fit different back lengths and torso shapes.

They are dedicated to offering superior comfort, fit and stability.

So, that's what Gregory are all about in a nutshell. Basically, they make damn good rucksacks.

Right, now introductions are out of the way, let's get down to business with an in depth look at the new Gregory Sketch range.

The Sketch is available in 3 sizes, 15 Litre, 18 Litre and 28 Litre. Essentially, a small, medium and large daysack.

The Sketch 15 Ladies Rucksack is perfect for those day trips where you just want to fling a few bits in a bag and get on with it. It also makes a great companion for a commute to work, whether that be walking, cycling or taking the train. The Sketch 15 has plenty of room for essentials such as lunch, a small umbrella and an iPad (which will fit snugly into the internal pocket, instead of a hydration bladder).

The Sketch 18 Ladies Rucksack has all the features of the 15 litre bag, with an extra external zip pocket, and the added bonus of catering for a 15 inch laptop. Perfect for hiking, commuting to work or days out and about.

The Sketch 28 Ladies bag is the largest daysack of the range (obviously) and offers all the benefits of the 18 Litre bag, but with larger external zip pockets (to fit a 15 inch laptop), side zip pockets (perfect for a mobile phone). A great bag for cyclists (fits a pump, bike lock and has a pocket for your tools), commuters wishing to take breakfast, lunch and a 3 course dinner or those having a day out on the hills.

All three of these Gregory daypacks are available in Orange, Black and Purple.
